As I understand it, based on the Google translation of a report in Italian, the young Muslim men were ostensibly there to "mourn" the victims of the Munich mass murder. Then they started to shout "Allahu Akbar!" - the Muslim attack cry often uttered by terrorists as well as allegedly by the Munich attacker himself - but were quickly met by counter-shouts (obviously featuring profanity) by "Germans," or at least others in the crowd.

So far, this confrontation doesn't seem to have been reported by any other sources. (I was alerted to it by a tweet from Israeli News Flash.)

Tense moments on Saturday evening in front of the Olympia shopping center in Monaco of Bavaria. Theater of the absurd shooting claimed the lives of nine people, the street in front of the mall is back open to pedestrians after 24 hours of total block. bunches of flowers have arrived, the candles, the tickets, the written. In the evening they gathered friends and relatives of the victims for a moment of remembrance, but also citizens and passers-by who wanted to bring a greeting and make their presence felt. Among others, a group of young Muslim boys who have lost friends in the shooting. After a heated monologue of one of them, who has railed against the "unjust world", calling for greater respect for life ( "we have to open our eyes, we do not live in a world where everything is good ... The world is broken, the world is over, open your eyes ") have begun to utter in unison" Allah Akbar "(God is great, ed). Words that can take on a threatening tone in a period full of death and terror, because the collective imagination are irretrievably linked to the image of bombers and terrorists , would-be " martyrs " . A group of German boys reacted and began to shout insults of all sorts at a time of both boys ( " Shut up with that shit Allah Akbar , fuck you motherfucker " ) and the police , guilty they say left them to do ( " I have come to her - she says a man turned to an agent - and I told her to stop this thing . he told me that there are no problems , do to stop this damned shit " ) . The cries of protest have become heavy insults ( " balls" , " pigs " ) , forcing the police to form a cordon to separate the two factions . The anti-Islamic actions and insults refugees have collected more than a round of applause from onlookers.
